Strange things, they look like pipes, but the tube is at the base so cant be  :huh:

For the lazy ones, (usually like me)

Hi Peejy,
they are simply called ´Schnapspfeife´ (snaps-pipe) here. The ones made of lampworked glass usually
come from Lauscha / Thuringia.
ebay (http://shop.ebay.de/i.html?_nkw=schnapspfeife&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=schnaps+pfeife&_osacat=0)
(especially look at the boxed one for further suggestions)

LOL! I've never seen any of these before.  Remind me of a sophisticated version of a baby feeder, just right for the man who has everything and is going through his second childhood! ;D
